5.0 out of 5 stars
A brilliant bio of an Artist in Bali,
By A Customer
This review is from: Woj Nieuwenkamp First Artist in Bali (Hardcover)
Lavishly illustrated and clearly written by historian/biographer and well-known Bali expert Bruce Carpenter, this recounts a romantic age when the west "discovered" the unique culture of Bali

This review is from: W.O.J. Nieuwenkamp: First European artist in Bali
This book is a remarkable labor of love by Indonesian art historian and art dealer, Bruce Carpenter. The lyrical beauty of the artwork itself and the story of Nieuwenkamp's travels in Bali and elsewhere at the dawn of the 20th century, are reason enough to own the this book. If that weren't enough, the book itself is lovely, and of far greater importance still, the text is well-written, engaging, and extremely well-researched. It's a delight both visually and intellectually. This book is also a tremendous source of inspiration and will fuel the imagination of visual artists, armchair adventurers, lovers of Indonesian culture, and incurable romantics. Hopefully, it will also inspire film producers. I, for one, would love to see a film based on Nieuwenkamp's life and travels.
